How do you tell a guy you don't like him?

The best way to tell someone how you feel is be straight-forward and honest. Tell him you don't see him and you dating for the long term. Tell him your priorities are school and family. The more upfront you are the clearer you are. There is no easy way to break up with someone. However, keep in mind, the longer you lead him on the more resentment he will have towards you.

New avatar huh...I thought you were like your previous avatar with big specs lol... Well this sort of question comes up in our age certainly. At we get really confused what is the good step and what is the wrong step. We want to look to every side regarding the relations before taking a step ahead. To say NO to any one is very difficult thing, very difficult thing than to say yes I think. We are afraid that we don't let him/her break down. Not all guys are same. I would certainly feel bad if I proposed someone and get a big NO at once. I may be expecting the same love as I do. I know if I got big NO at once I will break much badly than breaking politely. I have to accept the fact and that's all. But mostly it happens that though saying NO, it won't finish. He will again try to propose you for sure if you go on talking to him on and on. The best thing is say polite no, and then try to stay away. With time, he will patch it up all by himself. There is a girl who has proposed me twice. Its very hard to say a big NO at once. Its hard to break others heart. But I can't also give the heart to her. One has to understand and compromise, isn't it? Love is such a complex psychological thing... Happy mylotting...

I used to go out dating a lot when I was younger. I have met some guys whom I like and some that I don't like. I am honest with my feelings, if I don't like a guy... I will tell him right away as I don't like the guy to be expecting something from me which is not really intended to be. Not face to face but I will send him an sms after the first date, I would tell him that there are other girls who are more deserving for him and wishing him luck for his search. Some guys can't really accept it and will stalk on me. After some time, they will stop. I also wanted to be single and it was lately when I start to realized that I can't live alone. There are times that I really get lonely when I am alone and its also hard for me as there is nobody to take care of me when I am sick. I am in a serious relationship at the moment but me and my bf are not yet living together though its part of our plans in the future.

When I was in college, I was also working part-time at Pizza Hut. Two of my co-workers courted me. But I didn't like both of them. So, I told them the only way I know how. I told them that I still haven't gotten over from my past break-up. That I wasn't ready to be in a relationship again. Which was true. I expected them to give up but I was wrong. Instead, they told me that they will wait when I'm ready to fall in love again. I didn't want them to wait for nothing. So, I told them that it will be better for the three of us if they move on and find the right girl for them. Because it won't be me. I couldn't tell them directly the words " I don't like you.." But in some other words, I have successfully told them what I really want to say. And they got the message. They backed out and left me in peace. Goodluck in your case and I do hope the guy will understand why you need to turn him down.

The best way is to tell him the truth even if it hurts a lot like HELL.. But no matter how painful it is for a guy, he should accept it.. If you can't tell him what's going on he might get confused as to what to think about and why you change suddenly. Or else you will suffer and end up unhappy throughout the relationship with him. It's better end it as soon as possible to avoid getting hurt and also not waste both of your time into something not useful. For sure, time will come you will blaming each other of what happened.

just trying to ignore him and one day they will automatic understand your feelins and they will goes from your life by the way you can manage with him y you dont like him? you need to know him batter or maybe they are very good person in this world

Well it mostly depend on how mature he is. I have been through many relationships. Some I ended and some was ended by the woman. Yes it does hurt, and it is not a pleasant experience, but I got over it and went on with my life without any bad feelings. The best way is always the truth. I don't think there is a way that would not hurt. If the person is mature and understanding, he will accept, with the hurt, and know that it was not ment to be. I believe if a relationship is ment to be, it will. You can't force it from oneside. If one person wants out, then there is no relationship. It has to be from both sides wanting to be in. I would prefer, give it to me straight, tell the truth, and no excuses. The pain will eventualy go away. I whish you all the best with this difficult task ahead.

I think it is good that you have made your own decision alreayd, the problem is now you are finding a way to tell him nicely and make him feel better. I think you could just tell him the truth that you want to focus on your studies and you don't think it is the time for having a relationship yet? I remember when I was in high school, there was a boy liked me and always gave me some little things and followed me after school, I just kept avoiding him and didn't tell him straightforward that I didn't like him so I ended up made me really into me and very upset... I wish you good luck and good school result! :-)

Well i will say him directly that i don't like him and leave my way i know its not easy to hurt anyone but if he isn't understanding.Than I will have to say him directly or indirectly that sorry i don't like him.

Tell the guy to wait for you for 2, 3 years while you enjoy your 'singlehood' and concentrate on your studies as well as seeing to your responsibilities. Tell him to wait and not to look for you. You could maintain emails with him and thats just it. Keep it simple, remind him not to leave you alone during these period of time. Time would tell if he still love you after 3 years.....unlikely in most cases...

I think the best way is to say "I don't think you are the right man for me". the early you say, the few you hurt him. Be honest for your love.

The last time I've said to a guy that I don't like him is not that I don't don't like him. It's just that the timing of his courting is not right. I told him right away, in a good way of course. Then, he understood immediately and agreed that we will just be friends.

I read your statement. I found you want keep sigle and don't want to be with him. I suggest you as a guy. Don't say him only a single word about you don't like him. But keep yourself out of his contact. Don't come in his contact, don't intereact with him. It will be the good way ending with him. That neither poke him nor you will be facing any mental torture in further days. AB_Singh

normally,i would have a serious talk with him privately. It would be very insulting on his part to shout it out that i don't like him. Embarrassing him would also be a harsh move to take. Perhaps we could be friends than nothing at all.

This is an important topic. I have faced this situation in my life. It is very difficult to say 'No' rather than saying 'Yes'. I didn't want to say somebody a big 'No' and break their heart (this is very difficult when the guy is your good friend). But, I can't say 'Yes' also. One time I said my parents won't like this relationship because we are from two different religions, so I am saying 'No'. But, now when I think about that...I think I should not have put the blame on my parents. It is better to say 'No' direcly, very politely if you don't like someone. I felt that it is very diffuclt. You might like him as a good friend, but not as a boy friend. It is hard to explain that situation.

well for real if you made yourself feel like there maybe a happy ever endind then OH OH A man can put up with alot of thing's but to be told there's no way for us that will make a man say WHAT.. For me and I am keeping it real it's better to say I looking to have some fun (That don't mean giving it up ) let's have fun and what happen's happens.... If the man really love's you that much I hope he don't do crazy thing's to you some men do it's not you that's who you are.. So let's be for real here at the end say what you what in life tell the man being hold down right now not for you..The man got to know you have need's 2 and if you to have (SEu know) not love he need's 2 know what's the difference is HOPED I HELPED

I always go for the ever classic, "Let's just be friends." That sets everything straight. I don't beat around the bush so that I know that it is clear to him that we cannot be anything more than friends. If he's okay with it, well and good, but if he gets angry with me, then it's not even worth it to be friends with him. I mean, when a guy starts to like a girl, he should know that he is already taking a big risk and there is always the possibility that a girl might not be able to like him back. Guys should be ready for that.

Hi! Well for me, I have always been a blunt person when it comes to stuff like that. I've had friends from before, until now that tells me how they feel. But now that I'm married, they can't really ask me out anymore or go on dates with me, hheheh. Before like when I was still single, even my friends would show feelings like they like me and stuff. I would just be blunt, and straight up tell them that I just want to be friends. For others, it might be hard to be honest but it's really better to tell a person sooner than later about how you feel before they get hurt even more. Just be honest and tell the truth, instead of leading a person on. Good luck!

I may not be accountable for such experience but to much of my reading, I have made a decision for you to analyze and think too if its true. Firstly, before telling the person about it, it may be better to explain first all your feelings and gratitude about something in place of that person then try to approach it in a manner that the person will not be hard hit when you have to say you don't like him. Secondly say you don't like him and again explain to him what really is the matter why its not him or that you don't like to him and just say it in a nice way. Lastly, when resolved and its time to go separate ways,say thank you for everything, sighting what you have been together before and always end up with a smile and cheer up.

from the begining you should have let him know that your priorities to be sucessful in life comes before him. Be str8 up with the guy dont lead him because that sux and dont tell him over the phone because you didnt meet him over the phone and when it all said and done maybe the two of you can still be friedns. honesty is a key to friendship let him know you 2 need some space to get your priorities str8. I ve been through some deceitful breakups and wish the woman was straight up to the point of no hard feelings and understanding. hope it goes well with ya do whats right
